The False Prophet,
.
Part 37:
“And He Spake as a Dragon in Oh So Many Ways!”
To read Part 1, click here…JANUARY 26 (The False Prophet: “Lying Eyes!”)
.
.
.
.
.
“And I beheld another beast coming up out of the earth; and he had two horns like a lamb, and he spake as a dragon”
Revelation 13:11
.
This nation originally came “up out of the earth”, in the wilderness of North America: an entirely new nation created to become a safe-haven of refuge for those escaping the long tyrannical siege by the Revelation-Ch.13-1st-beast-church-state-system which reigned during the Dark Ages of Europe.
.
And God gave this brand-new fledgling nation a constitution based on the principle of liberty of conscience and freedom of political/religious speech.
.
And this nation, being rich in that which comes from the earth, began to prosper. As a matter of fact, this nation became the source of seemingly every conceivable innovation, which provided the engine for the incredible industrial revolution!
.
And like the proverbial “rocket-ship”, America produced a society like no other in history, soaring to incredible heights, leading other nations to also become veritable cornucopian super-societies!
.
.
.
.
.
.
“Behold, this was the iniquity of thy sister Sodom, pride, fulness of bread, and abundance of idleness was in her and in her daughters, neither did she strengthen the hand of the poor and needy”
Ezekiel 16:49
.
Unfortunately, this society quickly became a very rich nation. And it wasn’t long until the societal moral decay began, as it always does in wealthy societies, such as Rome, Greece, Sodom, etc….
.
And along with the downward slide of the secularists, the church also began to seek after prosperity in the form of decadent pleasures and proud, ambitious pursuits.
.
Needless to say, as a result, the church-community fell fast asleep, spiritually, thus allowing Satan to bring the church down into apostasy, merely having a form of godliness, but no true Holy Spirit empowerment. Merely a counterfeit righteousness!
Francken, Hieronymus the Younger – Parable of the Wise and Foolish Virgins c 1616

THE LAMBLIKE BEAST BEGINS TO SPEAK AS A DRAGON!
(See Revelation 13:11)
.
At first, this prosperous nation still managed to maintain, to a degree, its commitment to Christian principles. That is, not only did the church profess to follow the Lamb of God, but the government also developed “two horns like a Lamb” of political/social power, thus fulfilling the prophecy which said, “And I beheld another beast coming up out of the earth; and he had two horns like a lamb…” Revelation 13:11
.
Yes, just as “Mercy and Truth…Righteousness and Peace” are the two horns of the Lamb of God (see Psalm 85:10), the United States civil government likewise developed two similar horns in the form of its two major political parties: the party of so-called “compassion” (the left horn), but also the party of morality (the right horn).

BUT SOON THIS LAMBLIKE BEAST BEGAN TO SPEAK AS A DRAGON
.
With the invention of radio, movies, and television, it wasn’t too long until this 2nd Beast of Revelation began speaking as a dragon! And of course, Revelation 20:2 reveals thus, “the dragon, that old serpent, which is the Devil, and Satan”.
.
Yes, Satan is that dragon, and he began to take this nation down into bottomless pit of moral depravity by means of these colossal “electronic megaphones” known as radio, movies, and television. And Satan could now begin to also speak as a dragon to other developing nations.
.
But if this was not enough, along came Internet, giving Satan absolute control, custom tailored to fit the selfish desires of each and every individual.
.
And not only was Internet able to be custom-fit to the wants and desires of each individual, Satan made sure that his new ‘war machine’, the Internet, could also control exactly what he wanted the populace to hear or NOT to hear! It became the perfect apocalyptic weapon to prevent the unvarnished truth from being preached.
.
.
.
.
.
.
“…but the kisses of an enemy are deceitful”
Proverbs 27:6
.
And now, Satan has begun to pull off his lamblike mask. And his lamblike horns were now revealed to actually be the Devil’s horns! And this false Prophet Beast was now openly speaking as a dragon!

HABAKKUK SAYS, “RUN, CHRISTIAN, RUN!”
.
And so, just what is the solution to this seemingly impossible situation?
.
Well, the prophet Habakkuk says in Chapter 2…“And the LORD answered me, and said, Write the vision, and make it plain upon tables, that he may run that readeth it. For the vision is yet for an appointed time, but at the end it shall speak, and not lie: though it tarry, wait for it; because it will surely come, it will not tarry.” Habakkuk 2:2, 3
.
Here we see that it is now time to “RUN!” Here it is seen that it is no more time to be planting, building, buying, selling, marrying (and divorcing)!
.
No, it is time for God’s sorely tried people to run to the safety and refuge in the appointed hiding place in the heavenly “everlasting mountains” which surround the “Jerusalem now…in bondage to sin” (see Genesis 49:26 & Galatians 4:25)

FLEE THE CORRUPT MEDIA!
.
Well, obviously, the very first place to run for safety is from the presence of these unwholesome influences.
.
But we are not to force others into submission to our will!
.
And so, in the secret pavilion of God, the Believer can pray for his or her family, that they too may eventually come along on this end-time exodus out of this world.
.
Yes, as Habakkuk encourages, “but the just shall live by his faith. ” Habakkuk 2:4
.
And our faith will continually grow as we exercise great patience in waiting for our family’s salvation without attempting to force them into submission!

7 HEADS, 10 HORNS, & 7 CROWNS OF THE DRAGON
.
“And there appeared another wonder in heaven; and behold a great red dragon, having seven heads and ten horns, and seven crowns upon his heads.” Revelation 12:3
.
In Revelation, the Dragon of Revelation 12 is described as having seven heads, ten horns, and seven crowns. However, the Dragon Constellation up in the night sky does not.
.
But God has faithfully created the wave of water, in such a way, as to illustrate this same concept of the seven heads, ten horns, and seven crowns. Because this wave of water is basically composed of ten stars.
.
The main body of the wave has seven stars (#‘s, 1 thru 7). And the tip of the crest of the wave has the other three stars (#’s, 8, 9 & 10). So we have this 7 and 10 numbering. And this gives us a great clue, as to where in the Bible we should look, to find out the riddle as to just what or who do these 7 heads, 10 crowns, and 7 horns represent. Because, the Bible speaks very much about floods and waters as being associated with Satan (the Dragon).
.
But before we explore the floods, let’s look at one more number from that same passage in Revelation…
